Dr. Greg Luecke is an Associate Professor at Iowa State University in the Department of Mechanical Engineering. He earned his BSME from University of Missouri-Columbia in 1979, and worked in the aerospace industry in electro-hydraulic flight controls at McDonnell-Douglas Corp and Sikorsky Aircraft for ten years before pursuing a career in teaching and research. He earned an MS degree from Yale University in 1986 and his PhD in Mechanical Engineering at Pennsylvania State University in 1992.
Dr. Luecke's research in robotics, systems, and controls began at ISU in 1992, when he joined the faculty in the Mechanical Engineering Department. He is currently an Associate Professor, and his work deals with the analysis, modeling, and simulation of dynamic systems, from robotic manipulators to Virtual Reality. The major emphasis is to develop accurate simulations tools for use in real-time computation and human-computer interfacing in mechatronic systems.
